It is truly amazing to watch them. However, these are leaf cutter ants and they have cut up all my vegetables. They love Kale and Roses. It does not take long and there are no leaves left on the plant. If they would only cut up weeds, there wouldn't be a problem. But they are specialized on the same plants humans use - both edibles and ornamentals as well. I had to place my little Chrysanthemum onto a little island surrounded by water to save it. The large tree is safe, as they don't climb up high. They are ground cutters. Although there will be no more cutting here right now...
